The Girl Child Hygiene team was interviewed on Wednesday, Feb 22, 2023, on TV Africa where issues on sex for pads, young girls keeping themselves neat, proper ways of disposing of their pads etc were discussed.

Amos Ekow Coffie, our Founder and Ama Asabea Akuoko Sarpong our Co-founder were the guests.

During the discussion, the founder Amos Ekow Coffie, highlighted on the need to get every girl child involved in this project. 

He also stressed on the need to have a national dialogue on scrapping the 20% import duty and 12.5% VAT on sanitary pads in the country. 

Speaking on the proper ways of using and handling the sanitary pads, Mr Coffie explained the processes and methods. 

“when you take out your pad make sure your hands are clean and gently take off the pad and put it in the pant by making the small part of the pad come forward to the vagina and the longer part behind around the butt, and the middle inside the middle of the panty, then use the wings to lock it in the pant and after you put you panty on, after four hours depending on the type of flow whether heavy or light u have to try and change your pad at every three to four hours, that way you are being hygienic,” he said. 

Explaining how to dispose off the pad, Co-Founder, Ama Asabea Akuoko Sarpong said, “it is important not to let anyone see your menses so once you are done with using the pad, wrap it nicely and dispose it in a bin or burn it in a fire absorbent can.” 

Girl Child Hygiene is a nonprofit organization aimed at providing, educating and helping young girls understand their menstrual health and cycle and providing sanitary products and hygiene kits to adolescent girls hence contributing to the achievement of SDG goal 3,4 and 5.
